If you go for the Monte, get the Dale Earnhart Jr. edition. Already out of production and getting snapped up by collectors. Also looks pretty sharp, sorry no photo. Best Wishes...OF<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Almost bought it a couple weeks ago here in Tampa on a spur of the moment purchase.
It has the supercharged 240 hp engine which is nice.

if a sportscar in the 30k range is what you want, go with a mustang. you can get a very nice gt convertible for around that price.
if gas economy is what you want, buy some type of hybrid. ford makes an escape (small suv) hybrid that is supposed to be pretty nice i think. you also get a very nice tax savings if you go with hybrid...

Lexus ES330: Low 30's
Always rated at or near the top of consumer reports, holds it's value, and is machined with tolerances very fine by comparison to other cars. Will last a long, long time if properly maintained. Can purchase a factory warranted pre-owned car with approximately 15K for significant savings due to depreciation and the car is still just barely broken in. I own two, both 1994, the LS400 and the ES300 and they still run like new. Wouldn't sell or trade them for any other vehicle.

I always wanted the ZX...dating back to when it was actually the 280ZX...it sold for like 14 grand when I was in high school...I always loved that car...Now its back and its what I want...
I got a 3000GT the first year they came out back in 92 (i think) that car use to get some nice looks...it was brand new not many people new what it was, alot of people thought it was some really expensive car lol (it sold for like 32K back then) it was a fun car...had it in burgundy...
Johnny D- I bet you had some serious rides...JD - what are you driving these days?
And , what were some of your favorite cars you have had? You probably had a fleet!

Best value by far (compared with Lexus IS300, Maxima, BMW 325i, etc) in the small sedan luxury category is the Audi A4. Awesome car with lots included standard. Audis got a bad rap with repair issues in previous years but the last couple of years have been much improved and their service plan is on par with the Toyota/Lexus plans.
